Elder brother's garrison

Page 2225

Xiaobai looked at Frederick the Great on the ground, then squatted down thoughtfully and approached him.

Xiao Bai gently placed his palm on Frederick the Great's chest.

Frederick the Great's chest felt soft and smooth to the touch.

Xiao Bai blinked.

"Hmm... but it seems Frederick's injuries haven't left much of a mark..." Xiaobai said, looking at the others. "Did you use the rapid repair device on Frederick the Great?"

"No, no, no—" Upon hearing this, the directors of the Deep Sea Academy quickly shook their heads.

The directors of the deep-sea research institute wouldn't dare do that.

The naval base for newbies has a relatively relaxed atmosphere, but it can also be very strict in certain situations.

For example, although new members of a naval base can freely use the public resources within the base, they are absolutely prohibited from using these resources for outsiders without the admiral's permission.

This is an absolutely prohibited behavior.

Although Frederick the Great currently resides in the Newbie Naval Base, she has not yet joined the Newbie Naval Base. At most, she is considered a "prisoner" of the Newbie Naval Base. Compared with other Deep Sea Directors who have official positions, Frederick the Great does not even have human rights, and naturally has no right to enjoy the resources of the Newbie Naval Base.

The directors of the deep-sea institute dared not use the rapid repair device on her for this very reason.

Of course, another reason was that they were indeed a little afraid that Frederick the Great would cause them trouble after he woke up.

After all, the sleeping Frederick the Great was the best Frederick the Great.

"How did she recover from her injuries?"

"Yes." The Deans of the Deep Sea Academy pointed to the side.

Xiao Bai followed the direction the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy were pointing.

On the shore, dozens of deep-sea giant phoenixes were piled up like a human pyramid on the beach not far away.

These deep-sea giant phoenixes seemed to have been completely drained, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"These deep-sea phoenixes transferred their deep-sea energy to Frederick," the deep-sea deans said. "It was thanks to this deep-sea energy that Frederick the Great was able to heal the remaining injuries on his body."

“Alright…” Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Great Phoenix not far away, gave a wry smile, and turned to Dean Deep Sea and said, “Next time you encounter this situation, don’t bother Xiaohong and the others. You can just use the rapid repair device on Frederick the Great. If anyone asks you, just say that I told you to do it.”

"Understood, Admiral!"

The directors of the deep-sea institute quickly responded.

Xiaobai nodded and walked towards the direction of the Deep Sea Phoenix.

For deep-sea creatures, deep-sea energy is a kind of energy source, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a second form of physical strength.

Xiaobai crouched down and briefly checked the condition of the deep-sea giant phoenixes.

The deep-sea giants are in pretty good condition, but they are a bit tired after having their deep-sea energy drained and don't want to move.

I reckon they'll be fine after they take a nap on the beach.

Xiaobai rubbed the heads of the deep-sea phoenixes, then got up and returned to the group.

"Alright, there's nothing else here, you can all go to work now," Xiaobai said with a smile to the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy.

"Huh? Is it alright to leave Frederick here?" the Deep Sea Deans asked curiously.

"It's okay, I can handle the rest."

"Oh..." The deep-sea deans looked at each other and could only nod. "Then, Admiral, we'll be going now."

The directors of the Deep Sea Institute packed their belongings and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, the Deans of the Deep Sea seemed to remember something and called out to Xiaobai.

"Oh, right, Admiral."

"Ok?"

"Since we are leaving, I would like to trouble you, Admiral, to give these things to Frederick!"

As the abyssal deans spoke, they opened their ship equipment spaces one after another, and a rustling sound rang out continuously. Soon, several small hills of gift boxes were piled up in front of them.

"What are these?" Xiaobai asked curiously, looking at the things in front of him.

"These are small gifts that the ship girls asked us to pass on to Frederick before they left," the Abyssal Deans said. "Because Frederick has been unconscious until now, there are a lot of these gifts, so we plan to keep them for her until she wakes up... Since you've taken over, Admiral, please deliver them to Frederick for us."

"Oh...it was a gift from the ship girls." Xiaobai murmured as she walked into the gift box and picked up one at random to look at it.

The gift box contained a bottle of beer.

There was also a message on the outside of the gift box.

"You played well. Try playing with me next time you have the chance!"

—Washington

At the end of the message, a lifelike chibi-style portrait of Washington is shown giving a thumbs-up to the reader, which is quite adorable.

Xiaobai flipped the message over and looked behind her.

There was a cat paw print on the back of the note.

"This gift is exclusively sponsored by Akashi Convenience Store and features a private design by Meow."

Xiao Bai looked at the gift box and laughed out loud.

Xiao Bai was a little curious earlier. With the battle between Montana and Frederick the Great so sudden, where did the ship girls go to prepare these little gifts?

Judging from this situation... Akashi has once again taken the opportunity to dump a large amount of inventory.

They really know how to make money.

Xiaobai put the gift box back and then briefly looked at the others.

Besides the beer, the gifts included snacks, clothes, transfer items, and small toys, each carefully packaged and labeled with messages from the ship girls—a variety of items.

Most of the messages from the ship girls regarding Frederick the Great were encouraging and praising. Although Frederick the Great lost this battle, her fighting spirit was still recognized by the ship girls, which boosted her reputation in the newbie naval base.

"Leave these gifts to me," Xiaobai said to the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy.

"Understood, Admiral!"

The Deans of the Deep Sea were finally relieved. They said goodbye to Xiaobai, carrying their maid outfits, and left the beach of the training ground.

"Wow... I never imagined that Frederick the Great would ever lose to someone other than the Admiral..."

As the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy left, their conversation drifted on the wind to Xiaobai's ears.

Xiao Bai smiled and turned his head to look at Montana behind him.

"Montana, how are you feeling?" Xiaobai asked.

"A satisfying fight." Montana gave White a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "It took a lot of effort, but it was great!"

"I heard from Kamikaze and the others that you suffered a lot of burns on your body in order to win this battle."

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Montana shrugged. “After all, it’s an opponent of this caliber. It would be too arrogant to expect to win without taking any damage.”

Listening to Montana's words, Xiaobai took Montana's hand and carefully examined his palm.

Montana's hands were as slender and flawless as jade, soft and smooth to the touch. There were no visible damages on his delicate fingers, rounded back of his hand, or flat palm.

Have the burns all healed?

"Yes, it was fixed after using the quick repair."

"Don't push yourself so hard next time," Xiaobai said with a smile, gently releasing Meng Dana's hand.

“Admiral, Frederick is much more hardworking than I am. You’ll have to give her a talking to when she wakes up.”

"Okay, I'll tell you now." Xiaobai looked at Frederick the Great on the ground, smiled at him, and said, "Did you hear me? Get up."

As Xiaobai finished speaking.

Frederick the Great slowly opened his eyes on the sand.

Under Montana's astonished gaze, Frederick the Great sat up expressionlessly. Looking at the little white dog so close to her, she silently pushed herself up from the ground.

A tall figure rose up.

Gravel fell.

The shadow cast almost swallowed up Little White's body.

"Huh? He was already awake?" Montana looked at Frederick the Great in surprise, then at Little White. "You're quite the expert at pretending to be asleep. I didn't even notice... How did you find out, Admiral?"

“This isn’t the first time she’s done this.” Xiaobai looked up at Frederick the Great and said with a smile, “Frederick the Great knows that the Deans of the Deep Sea are afraid of her. When I’m not around, they would probably be a little flustered if they were alone with the conscious Frederick the Great. So, in order to take care of their feelings, Frederick the Great chooses to pretend that he is not awake.”

“Oh…” Montana.

"Frederick, thank you for your help in today's battle," Little White said to Frederick the Great.

"……Um."

Frederick the Great looked down at Xiaobai with his scarlet eyes. She was expressionless, responded softly, and then slowly took out gauze from her ship equipment space and wrapped it around her head.

Frederick the Great's eyes, and even half of his beautiful face, were slowly wrapped with gauze.

Immediately afterwards, Frederick the Great took out a set of shackles, bent down, and put the shackles on his bare feet.

After doing all this, Frederick the Great nodded slightly to Little White and made as if to turn and leave.

"Frederick, you still have something to take." Little White called out to Frederick the Great.

"...?"

Frederick the Great stopped and turned to look at Little White.

Xiao Bai raised his hand and pointed to the gift boxes piled up into several small hills to the side.

"..."

Frederick the Great stared expressionlessly at the stacks of gift boxes, making no move and remaining silent.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked when he saw Frederick the Great not moving.

"I can't fit it all in," Frederick the Great said to Little White.

“So this day has come for you too.” Little White laughed, stepped forward, and said to Frederick the Great, “Let me help you.”

“Count me in.” Montana also came up, and she smiled at Frederick the Great. “Frederick, where did you learn how to pretend to be asleep? Teach me.”

"..."

Chapter 3117 Private Space

Frederick the Great's ship had quite a lot of space for equipment.

Although Xiaobai didn't ask about the size of her ship's equipment space in detail, if measured by the standard ship's equipment space of a regular battleship, Frederick the Great's ship's equipment space would probably be about the size of a small warehouse.

However... even with a warehouse-sized space, it could only feel powerless in the face of the "gifts" from all the newbie naval ship girls.

After all, there are a lot of ship girls in the newbie naval base. Even if the ship girls who came to watch the exercise today only account for half or even less than a third of the total number of ship girls, the number of gift boxes they give away could still be piled up into three or four towering hills on the beach. This is the capacity that the entire Deep Sea Maid Corps could barely fit in their ship equipment space. As strong as Frederick the Great is, her ship equipment space capacity is only at the level of ordinary deep sea. No matter how much she can hold, she cannot possibly fit all these things in her ship equipment space.

But it's different for Xiaobai and Montana.

While the capacity of shipboard equipment space varies from person to person, it generally follows the principle that "the larger the shipboard equipment, the larger the space."

Xiaobai's ship equipment is, after all, land-based ship equipment, and its space capacity is incomparable to that of a mere deep-sea battleship.

As for Montana, it goes without saying.

Montana's ship equipment is the same overwhelming nanomachines she used before. When all of those things are released, they can even turn a large area of ​​the sea into a golden color. Her ship equipment is so big that the space inside is probably even more spacious than Xiaobai's.

With the help of Xiaobai and Montana, the several enormous gift box towers that were originally placed on the beach were quickly stored in their ship equipment space.

After putting all the gift boxes into the ship's equipment, Xiaobai clapped her hands and smiled at Frederick the Great.

"Frederick, don't be so polite. Montana and I are both free, so we'll deliver these gift boxes to your place."

"..." Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great silently watched Little White and Montana.

When Xiaobai and Montana went to collect the gift boxes, they didn't even have to ask Frederick the Great to help; the two of them collected all the gift boxes.

When Xiaobai said those words, it was clear that he was leaving Frederick the Great no room to refuse.

After a brief silence, Frederick the Great could only nod slightly to Montana and Little White before turning and walking toward the exit of the training ground.

Little White and Montana exchanged a glance and followed Frederick the Great.

“Frederick, you still haven’t told me how you pretended to be asleep.” Montana put his hands behind his back, bent forward, and looked up at Frederick the Great.
